Mag-Loop Controller - Part 1

I now think I have too many projects on the go! I've just started on an Automatic Mag-Loop Controller. Loftur (TF3LJ / VE2LJX) has done some amazing work, in developing a stepper motor controller that can take SWR readings from the antenna, along with frequency readings from the radio (via CAT port) and also stored memory data and tune the Loop, almost as fast as your ability to QSY.

It is a fairly elaborate project so may take a little time to get all the pieces working together. But we've made a start!





Loftur demonstrates his unit in this video below.
